Welcome to

myGSOH We’ve made it easy for you to find programs in your favorite category by adding icons to each program description. Get ready to start exploring and pick your favorite activities!

Life Skills ★ Arts & Humanities ★ Health & Wellness ★ Advocacy & Engagement Through our Life Skills programs, girls develop a strong sense of self and their potential, discover the importance of staying active and making healthy choices, and become more confident leaders who want to make the world a better place. By giving them different perspectives and opportunities to make a difference, we inspire girls to give back and share the good!

★ Entrepreneur The Fall Product Program and Girl Scout Cookie Program are two ways for girls to earn while they learn and run their own business. They develop important life skills—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—that will set them up for success beyond anything they can imagine.

❧ Let’s practice! Circle all the ladybugs you see—you should find 12 in all! Did you find them all? You might be ready to earn your Citizen Scientist patch by contributing to this or another Citizen Science project!

More about the Get in the Game Patch Program Objective: Increase girls’ participation in sports, healthy living, and fitness activities so that they develop positive, lifelong habits in sports and fitness. This patch program is designed to recognize girls who may already be participating in different sports in their community or school. Although this patch can be worked on as a troop, a record sheet must be kept for each individual girl. The patches for this program consist of a Get in the Game Patch and segments for a large variety of sports. If your sport of choice is not available, you may utilize the “other” category on your record sheet and purchase a blank segment and embroider or use fabric markers to indicate the sport. You may earn patch segments for as many different sports as you wish. Requirements These three requirements must be completed before starting the participation hours: 1. Learn all the safety rules for the sport chosen. 2. Find out what kind of clothing and equipment are needed for the sport selected. 3. Find out what facilities or leagues are available in your area for playing the selected sport. After finishing the requirements, participants must complete the appropriate number of hours for the sport selected. Be sure to record the hours of participation and the completion of the requirements on the record sheet. Have a coach, troop leader, or parent sign the record sheet to verify hours.

Peace It Together PATCH PROGRAM

fidence, rage, Con u o C e th . from r segments te c a r a h and C

Note: It’s best to do this activity outside.

Items you will need: • Fine glitter Activity Instructions:

Form a single line with your friends. Your mission is to pass glitter from one person to the next, all the way down the line.

• • • •

To succeed you must complete the mission in five minutes, not let a single speck of glitter fall to the ground, and leave no trace of glitter in your hands. You can’t rinse your hands during this activity.

an TrtY ivity

•

Were you able to complete the mission? Think about the glitter – how is it similar to gossip and rumors? Like glitter, gossip and rumors stick with you – it’s hard to get off even if you want it gone. It’s hard to contain. It’s easy for it to travel where you didn’t intend. It can put the spotlight on someone who doesn’t want attention. It can seem fun, but it turns into a big mess!

Items you will need: • Paper • Pencils • Markers or colored pencils Activity Instructions:

What is a personal symbol? Think of things like a hair style, a T-shirt message, etc. Create a symbol of yourself using a mandala! A mandala is a word in Sanskrit that means “circle.” The circle has been used as a symbol for thousands of years in many different cultures.

Think about four to six words that describe your strengths and talents, then decorate your mandala using markers or colored pencils.

CHARACTER Getting to know someone is a skill. You need to be interested in another person! You may think you don’t have something in common with another person only to discover that you have many common interests!

Activity Instructions:

Challenge yourself to talk to a girl in your Girl Scout troop or at your school that you don’t know very well. Can you find at least three things you have in common?

With a variety trips ever year, there’s something amazing for everyone to experience. Travel with Girl Scouts from all over the country, make new friends, and come back home with bags full of inspiring, life-changing experiences.

ENGLAND IRELAND & WALES

Elizabeth, Kenzie, and Samantha shared their amazing Destinations experiences with us. If you’re thinking about applying for a Destination, check out one of our upcoming webinars!

Elizabeth

I can say with complete honesty that this Destination was an adventure I will never forget. So much happened in just a matter of days! I’ve always wanted to travel, and getting the opportunity to visit Ireland, Wales, and England was a dream come true. I’ve made 13 new friends and I have made memories that will last a lifetime. I’ve learned so much about other countries, money, and life. I’m thankful I could go, and I will always “mind the gap”—that’s a London thing!

Samantha

Kenzie

My Destination was a combination of learning to surf every morning and experiencing different parts of the Florida coast throughout the afternoon. During the three hours of surfing, the waves went from coming up high on the beach to slowly retreating into the ocean. There were flags all along the beach to mark where sea turtles had nested—the cities along the coast are working hard to preserve a natural and safe habitat for the sea turtles to continue breeding. I learned so much about preserving nature and it strengthened my desire to work with animals in the future! In addition, it was awesome to meet girls from all over the United States. I forged lifelong friendships during out time surfing together, exploring the Kennedy Space Center, and feeding the Lorikeets at the Brevard Zoo.

g Wildlife n i m yo

S E R A D VENTU

Interestingly enough, we didn’t just stay in Wyoming during my Destination! We spent time at the Teton Mountains and Yellowstone National Park. The focus of my trip was exploring the wonders of wildlife in both areas. During the week, I learned about different ecosystems, the animal inhabitants, the natural beauty of the region and how it was formed, plus the complexity and importance of the circle of life. This Destination taught me confidence, how to look and interact with the world differently, and inspired me to share my newly gained knowledge with a group of special needs peers—which is my passion. Plus, all the friendships I’ve made is a bonus!

National Young Women of Distinction Meet the Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland nominees for National Young Women of Distinction— an honor given to 10 Girl Scouts from across the country each year. All nominees need to have earned their Girl Scout Gold Award and have shown exceptional impact with their Take Action projects. Meet Maria, Elaina, and Hannah, three Girl Scouts from Ohio’s Heartland who were nominated for this year’s National Young Women of Distinction.

Maria Basile Maria has first-hand experience in the benefits of synchronized swimming. She understands that everyone doesn’t have the opportunity to participate in organized sports—as a solution, Maria used creative advertising to announce her free synchronized swimming clinic at the local YMCA. Her swimming team will continue these clinics and expand their reach with additional locations.

Elaina Kim Elaina developed a website with streamlined networking to assist low income and immigrant youth through the path of college preparation and applications. She held workshops to educate middle and high school students on the resources available and inspire them to look toward a future of higher education. Elaina’s website has made a global impact, with views in areas as distant as Australia.

Hannah Reikowsky Hannah’s Take Action project focused on food stability. She worked within her church community to establish a weekly, sustainable hot meal for individuals who experience food insecurity. She was completely committed to educating the community on the needs and services provided by the Meals Together program. Her use of social media and outreach to surrounding counties has ensured that this program will continue to feed people in need for years to come.
